Called at 2am after looking for my keys around a few blocks for about 1h30. Told They would be 40 to 45 min. But it is now 4am. Called the office a few times. Technician texted to say he had a flat tyre and would be 25 at some point but it has been well over an hour. No longer answering calls. It is under 10C outside amd my mobile is about to die. Thanks for nothing.

Grateful my car was unlocked but they tired to charge me $728+ after they were late & I canceled. They showed up anyways & where I work i had to walk a certain distance to get to the front lobby. This was the reason why I was charged. Nope!

Do not use this company! They are incompetent and overpriced. They came to change locks on my business and screwed everything up and then charged me again for their mistake! Horrible customer service!!

Terrible overpriced service. Asked locksmith to replace two locks and key for entry handle. Was advised the handle could be “fixed” as the key could not be cut. Three hours later, the handle would not work at all. Customers and staff locked in. No one could get in or out of store. Locksmith said he could “maybe” come back in an hour. Absolutely disgusting and dangerous. Imagine if there was a fire! Show details

Friday, 20 April just gone. I locked myself out of my house. I called Locksmith now Omnix Solutions Ptd Ltd and they put me onto a guy called [Name Removed] who called me back within a minute. He took 40 minutes to come when I thought would be a 15 minute call out. He showed me a listing on prices on some scrappy pieces of paper on how much it… Read more

would cost and under duress, because I need to be in Port Adelaide by 6.30 pm I felt I had no choice but too agree I asked him if there was any discount for pensioners and he said well, normally we don’t but I will take $100 off. Took 1 SECOND TO OPEN THE LOCK and that cost me $650. Apparently in South Australia, there is no capping on prices so they can charge whatever the they want. He had no efpos machine it was broken or something so I had to go to my ATM and he followed me to get the money out. I asked for a receipt he said it would be sent to me. All these things are red flags. The fact that the 700 number is probably a tracking or virtual number that goes to an interstate dispatch, he rocks up in a personal car, there was no ID shown mind you I didn’t ask for it. When I rang the company Sunday night he said he would email me the itemised receipt by getting in touch with [Name Removed] first. Well here it is Tuesday and I still haven’t received it.I phoned consumer and business services and really they weren’t any help. They said because I agree to the price, and because there’s no capping in South Australia, there’s really not much I could do, but the fact that it could be a tracking or virtual number is a red flag and itself the fact that he did not supply a receipt for me whether it was written one or digital is a breach of Australian consumer law, especially for the amount of $650. I filled out a form with the MasterLocksmith Association to see if they’re actually a registered company, but I haven’t heard back from them yet , hopefully in the next day or two otherwise I’ll phone them. So here I am another person saying don’t use Locksmith now because Omnix Solutions Ptd Limited is a parenting company and you get nowhere with them.Has anyone else had dealings with them in Adelaide? There’s no actual address for this company in Adelaide. I’ve attempted to find one.

I cannot recommend David highly enough for his help with my door lock. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and truly professional After experiencing issues with my lock, David arrived quickly and handled the repair with impressive efficiency. His service was exceptionally fast, but he didn't sacrifice quality for speed—he made sure… Read more

everything was functioning perfectly before finishing the job.

What I appreciated most was the peace of mind he provided. Beyond just fixing a piece of hardware, his expertise and thoroughness truly made me feel safe in my home again. If you are looking for good, reliable service and a true professional, David is the person to call!

Absolutely shocking experience with Locksmith Now — by far one of the most unprofessional services I’ve dealt with. From the beginning, the pricing was completely misleading. I was given an initial quote, but by the end of the job, nearly $2,000 in additional charges had been added without any clear explanation or proper approval. These extra… Read more

fees were not transparently communicated upfront and only appeared once the work was already done, leaving no real option to question or decline them. It felt extremely deceptive and poorly handled. The company that completed the job was Omnix Solutions PTY LTD

What makes this worse is that the job itself was not even completed to an acceptable standard. Not only was the work left unfinished, but additional damage was caused to my door during the process — something I now have to deal with separately.

Trying to resolve the issue has been even more frustrating than the service itself. There appears to be no proper customer resolution process in place. I’ve been repeatedly told that someone would call me back, yet no one ever follows through. Emails go unanswered, and there is a complete lack of accountability from the company.

The communication from management was just as disappointing — dismissive, unhelpful, and unwilling to take any responsibility for what happened. At no point did I feel like my concerns were being taken seriously or that there was any genuine effort to fix the situation.

Overall, this experience reflects a serious lack of professionalism across the board — from pricing transparency to workmanship, communication, and after-service support.

I would strongly recommend avoiding this company if you value clear pricing, quality work, and basic customer service.

This was the worst service experience I have had. When I called, I was told the price would be around $99. However, when the technician arrived, I was told the charge would be $469 because it was a “special key.” This was never mentioned during the phone call. I explained that I had a similar situation a little while ago. I randomly called… Read more

another locksmith on Facebook, and they opened my door in about one minute and charged only $130.

The technician then told me I had two options: pay $99 for the inspection (because I called after hours) and he would leave, or pay $469 for him to open the door. At that point it was already 10pm, and my phone battery was about to die, so I could not make more calls to check on other companies. After negotiating, they reduced the price to $350.

The technician then opened the door in about one minute — the same amount of time it took another locksmith a few month ago. There was nothing special or difficult about the key.

I feel the situation advantage of the fact that I live alone, it was late at night, and my phone battery was about to die. The price increase from the initial quote to the final charge was unreasonable and not transparent.

Got charged $909.00 for a basic mechanical lockout. The locksmith opened the door with a rod. The quote on the spot was shady, the final bill was ridiculous. The company is called Omnix Solutions Pty Ltd. Since you're keep deleting my screenshot, I'll cite the bill that shows "fee stacking" to inflate the total: • Unlock Fee: $479.00 AUD •… Read more

After Hours Fee: $199.00 AUD • Emergency Service Fee: $100.00 AUD • Call Out Fee: $25.00 AUD • GST: $80.30 AUD • Card Fee: $26.50 AUD • TOTAL: $909.80 AUD

Absolutely disgusting consumer affairs should be made aware of extortion and intimidation. I have made a complaint I suggest all should. If you view… Read more

invoice $300 to drill lock and not fix it. Then charge a labor cost on top. Criminal, don’t let them get away with it. I am not!! Also they use different company names to make it difficult to serve legal notices.

 Follow-up  · I am taking the company to VCAT for damage caused I will be claiming for new sliding flywire door and new locks. And for other people that allow this nonsense to go on.

 Follow-up  · They are still not attending to damages.

If I could give zero stars I would. Worst service ever. Came 1 hour late, destroyed my lock and had to replace it and charged me $1015.80 having told me the job would cost $479 while all other fees would be waived due to being late. It's a scam and… Read more

I have taken them to consumer affairs. The lock smith ended up being aggressive to one of my neighbours who was woken up due to his banging the lock with a hammer. At no time was a total cost provided until the end. Rubbish service - use them at your own risk.

 Follow-up  · No they did not explain extra charges. After they had to replace my locks as they had damaged them in the process of trying to open the door, they handed me a sheet that had additional charges. The quote was provided in writing after the work was done - and when I questioned it, the day after with the company they told me the lock smith had… Read more

A very bad price disclosure…was quoted 99 to 129 per lock but after coming thru claim it is 279. Agreed and for replacement and finally reveal that it doesn’t include GST . Why in the world do they not include GST in the quote? When the rest of… Read more

Australia does it in every item and service sold? Never again with these people, maybe we should report their billing quotes and practices to the agency for audit. They are an online store coordinating some tech guys . Felt Airtasker was much better and open and upfront in their fee quote

 Follow-up  · A disastrous decision to call this number, we better be prepared to spend an arm and a leg along with some insurance claims to be able to cover these costs. They are literally looting the public of their situations and I realised they on purpose do not open the lock and force us to replace the lock….either they are pathetic in their skill or on purpose doing this

Would give negative if I could. Over charged. Came late and then hit and me and wouldn’t leave my house making me feel unsafe. All I needed was a hole drilled to change over a lock and charged $550 for “door insurance”. I provided the hard wear.

Absolute scam. Was charged x3 the amount of another locksmith. Wouldn’t let me know cost until they got to the door. Called another locksmith and they said they could do it for $300 and quoted me on the spot. Do not use this company. They only pay for google ads to get you.

DO NOT CHOOSE THIS COMPANY. This company is a rip off. They take advantage of someone when they are stressed to charge exorbitant fees, and lie about it as well. The fees just get added on and on. "Restricted lock" (got lied to, my lock isn't restricted) $480, $25 call out fee, $100 after hours fee even though the call was made before 5pm, some… Read more

extra service fees, and then GST on top of all of that. Not only that, but if you read their terms and conditions (as I did afterwards to see if there was any action I could take) the fees are in words to make it difficult to read quickly. It says they can even charge you $490 if you decline the service after the locksmith arrives. They don't give you an invoice either. https://locksmithsnow.com.au/terms-and-conditions/

Accidentally locked myself out of my apartment in the afternoon on a weekday. Asked over the phone for a quote, said that I wouldn’t be able to get one until the locksmith had arrived and seen the lock themselves. Upon arrival, I finally asked and was quoted OVER $600. I then mentioned I was not paying that much and would rather pay some sort of… Read more

call out fee, but NOT the job. I was then told it was a $150 cancellation fee. Cancellation? For what? Nothing was done. I’m absolutely gutted that I trusted this company. If you are ever locked out please do not fall for it! My anxiousness unfortunately let to a scam and a loss of hundreds of dollars.
